Episode notes

When you love a deck you want to upgrade it to the best it can be, but what do you do when a beloved brew becomes too powerful?

In this episode, we explore that question by analyzing the life of Rachel’s high-powered Aeve, Progenitor Ooze deck. What started as a mono-green stormy dream became the ooze that cannot lose, until it finally had to get taken apart. Are there decks that just have no place in the Commander format? Tune in and find out!
